You do realize that the solver companies are in exactly the same boat, right?

And given how much the licenses cost, I'd love a new player to show up and bring them down to a reasonable level.

no they're not. they're in the business of making their customers' problems solve fast and well. That's of course strongly related, but it is _not_ the same. An algorithm may well be (and this is what OP might be hinting at) be more elegant and efficient, but execute worse on actually existing hardware.
